sign in tea sets both as regards form and finish.
AS will be seen there is a combination of the
fiuted pattern and the plain or bright finish,
the former appearing in the body of the
pieces, while the tops handles, etc, are plain.
Other favorite modes of decoration appear ia
be the repousse in white finish, enclosing,
engraving and chasing. Chasing and en-
craving are so admirably wrought together
that it is often difficult to distinguish these
just as the finer grades of enclosing often
pass to the uninitiated for the hammered
repousse. Applied work is still used, and

A sURFErr OF ROYALTIES.
Some Post-Jubilee Gossip from Britain'S
Big Capital.

The English public has apparently be
come surfoited with the sight of royalty,
writes n London correspondent to the World
There have been so many princes so many
oriental potcntatcs and so many relgnlng
Sovcreigns in London during the last fort
night, that the attraCtiVcncsS OF these as
tinguished visitors from show standpoint
har been deprecated. Last night, mt the
Gaiety Theatre, upon the occasion of Mrs.
Potter's second appearance, asked an
English gentleman who was the young Ger
man looking man seated at the right OF the
Prince of Wales This Englishman replied;
Heaven knows. Some one of the 400 petty
princes who are at present quartered on the
English n 1blic." | have noticed n number
of absurd things in connection with the Wis
it's of these royalties. In the first place,
every now and then one of them start out
for a country trip. He always travels on
such an excursion incog lie takes another
name. apparently for the purpose of con
ceament and for the better protection of
his privacy, bu- the fact that this royal per
sonage is to travel incog is publicly an
nounced in the newspapers, with the name
of the alias selected by him. Nearly al
WAYS. when the royalties of Europe or their
relatives come to London for an unofficial
visit they travel inCog., with bulletins III
every newspaper noting in advance the
route. where they were stopping, and who
are with them The appearance of mys-
FERROUS privacy becomes a mere burlesque.
| am told, however that this fashion OF
royalties travelling under an assumed name
is merely a form to protect them from
official receptions and as a notice to the
royalties of the countries visited by them
that they will not eXpct the courtesles due
from their rank, but will be content with
the civlites belonging to the assumed
rank. What ever may be the explanation,
the custom is in the highest degree absurd
There has been great bitterness in the cir
cles of ambitious aspirants for honors at the
hands of the queen since the publication OF
the official list. All of the gifts of the queen
have been bestowed on men of great wealth.
A poor man could not afford to accept n
title from the queen, if she were disposed
to confer honor upon such man. am told
b Englishmen who should know that title
carries with it great social responsibilities
in the way of entertainments. newly
created baron must give to the fashionable
world entertainments which will warrant
his being accepted as member of the up
per of the classes To Use the American
phrase, he is obliged to 'stand treat for his
new honors. A man of title. these English
people tell me, has to pay more for what
ever he has than a man occupying ordlna-
ry rank At the hotels he must have bet
ter rooms and he cannot dispute his bills IN
the regular fashion of an untitled citizen.

An important point, and one which Good
Housekeeping says is often overlooked oven
by intelligent housekeepers, is that water
should be freshly boiled in clean kettle.
Water, in boiling, loses the air or gases which
give it fresh taste and sparkling appear
ance. 1t should be used as soon as boiled, or
it becomes fiat and tasteless. a brown sub
stance is deposited ON the inside of the kettle,
and this, if allowed to accumulate, impart,
an unpleasant taste to the water; yet there
are many houSekeepers, exquistcly neat in
many ways, who seldom wash the inside of a
teakettle. 1t is an excellent plan to keep a
small kettle to be used only in boiling water
for tea or coffee. Wash and wipe it carefully
every time it is used.

to-day that the governor of Dakota will
shortly issue a proclamation similar to
that already issued by the governor of
Montana, listing and q%uarantining cattle
from or passing through the following
states OF territories, believing they are
liable to convey diseases: New York,
Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, Texas, Vermont and the Domln-
ion of Canada. Cattle will be permitted
to pass through these territories when
going to Washington territory or Ore
gon, provided that shippers will agree
not to unload while en- route but will
arrange to feed and water their cattle
on the cars. If, however, the cattle are
bound for Dakota and Montana, they
must be q~uarantined ninety days be-
fore they will be permitted to enter. In
all cases cattle should be accompanied
by a certificate of health specifying the
state or territory the cattle came from
and destination thereof. This applies
to emigrant movables and shipments,
including live stock.
